The highly-anticipated bout between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. will certainly draw a lot of eyeballs on Saturday night. Tyson and Jones Jr. will also figure to break the bank, with each of them earning at least $1 million from the fight.

Mike Tyson previously committed to donating his fight purse to charity, especially to those affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Even though this is a fight between two way-past-their-prime 50-plus-year-old retired boxers, people are still tuning in to see the two heavy hitters trade punches in the middle of the ring. The fight will reportedly sport larger 12-ounce gloves and will go for eight two-minute rounds.

Furthermore, each boxer won't be allowed to knock each other out, and there won't be a declared winner at the end of the fight. Nonetheless, despite the exhibition nature of the fight, this won't prevent the two former heavyweight champs from going full force.

In his prime, Mike Tyson was known as one of the most brutal knockout artists, especially in the heavyweight division. His crunching right hand ended fights often and early, becoming his hallmark early on in his career.

Meanwhile, Roy Jones Jr. was one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of his time. He won world titles in four weight classes: middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight.

The two never met in their heyday. While the fight won't look as great as it would have had they fought 25 years earlier, this will certainly still be a fight to look forward to.
